Q: Is a new CAPA agreement required if my collaborating physicians leaves the practice or decides s/he no longer wishes to provide collaborative services??A: For an APRN in the first four years of practice, or if the

agency for which the APRN is employed requires the APRN to have a collaborative agreement (CAPA-NS), the answer is Yes. ANY change in the CAPA- NS or CAPA-CS agreement is to be communicated to the

KBN. The APRN is required to rescind the collaborative agreement with the previous physician and enter into a collaborative agreement with a new physician. The link to the KBN website where the form can be located and the link to the form has been provided below.

The same is true for the APRN who enters into a collaborative agreement to prescribe controlled substances (CAPA-CS). Should the physician with whom the APRN has a collaborative agreement leave the practice or decides s/he no longer wishes to provide collaborative services, then the APRN is required to rescind the collaborative agreement with the previous physician and enter into a collaborative agreement with a new physician.

KENTUCKY BOARD OF NURSING SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACTIONS

Beginning in April 2019, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services will allow access to the Enhanced Kentucky All Schedule Prescription Electronic Reporting System (eKASPER) only through the Cabinet’s’ single sign-on system, Kentucky Online Gateway (KOG). Following this change the existing eKASPER login portal will no longer function.

KOG is an authentication service for users requesting access to Cabinet applications. The Cabinet is transitioning to KOG to provide you with more secure and reliable access to your eKASPER account. KOG will also simplify maintenance of your eKASPER account by eliminating the need for you to provide and maintain facility information.

To prepare for KOG, please take the following actions;

1. Ensure that you have a unique email address as soon as possible and prior to April 2019.

• KOG requires that all eKASPER master and delegate account holders have a unique email address. Multiple eKASPER users will no longer be able to share an email address, such as a practice-wide email. KOG will support unique email addresses

provided by a free email service such as Gmail.2. Establish your KOG account prior to April 2019.

• Create a KOG account using your unique email address by following the registration process at: https://kog.chfs.ky.gov.

• Beginning on the KOG go-live date, when any account holder attempts to log into the old eKASPER portal, the system will take you to the KOG registration page. If you already have your KOG account, you will simply log in to access eKASPER. If you have not registered with KOG you will need to create your KOG account before you will be able to access eKASPER.

3. Log in to your eKASPER account and use the account maintenance function to update your user information with your unique email address.

• Additional information regarding the transition will be forthcoming via email so it is very important to have the correct email address in your existing eKASPER account to receive future guidance on the transition to KOG.

Taking these actions as soon as possible will make the KOG transition easier and help ensure your uninterrupted access to

APRNs – TAKE NOTICE!!New Process to Access KASPER! Action Required!


eKASPER. For questions regarding the KOGimplementation, please contact the eKASPER [email protected], 502-564-2703.
